Sanli putting MIL in her place was SO SATISFYING! 😂 I had a big smile on my face as I watched her, she's definitely not my favorite for no reason. I love that she isn't a pushover and knows when to put up a fight.
And other things are going just GREAT. Soldier Boy is verrrry sketchy and I've seen him express even a little concern for her exactly ONCE. But I love Simei so much I don't want her to go through anything bad 😥 And aren't we all glad even the next generation isn't spared angst? I wonder just how traumatized that Master Ma's son must be. Abusive father, mother on the run, and now he had to see that crazy showdown. I cannot ship this. And just for the record, Xiaomo is the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen in my entire life. I want Master Ma to be happy, but Erqiang and Xiaomo both are in the wrong. There's nothing else I can say. An 8-year age gap is a lot and that kid is old enough to be in middle/high school. They're just in two very different stages of life.
no way people voted for Flower of Evil😭it's genuinely so good though
ikrrr 😭 If you watch it with the lens the writer uses, it's so so good! Most people seem to find it boring because they thought it was a thriller... Maybe it was made for me, a fluffy romance lover who watched it solely for LJG and then had a complete thrill of a ride... I loved how the writer explored the relationship.
Some shows really don't deserve to be on here. Especially the ones released a few years ago and were unique for…
I'm also a little surprised at the amount of hate DOTS is getting in this comment section. I've watched it twice, and though some situations are unbelievable, it still was a good, funny, romantic watch. Maybe it's because DOTS was one of my first dramas... I enjoyed it thoroughly and fell head over heels for Song Joong Ki

I was surprised by that too, but then I have noticed that it has 64000 watchers, which is more than True Beauty.…
I thought everybody knows Because this is My First Life! Every list and person I turned to for reccs seemed to recommend that one to me but I dropped it after a few eps.
Unpopular opinion but I am not a fan of It's okay to not be okay. Sure, the storyline is good and they highlighted…
I also agree. The drama earned points for me only with the OST and cinematography. I dropped it after Ep 7 because there's only so much you can endure just for good cinematography.
Love 020 was so bad, it made me laugh at the mediocrity. Sorry babes, but Yang Yang can't act.
i was out the moment the drama over-hyped the ML... all I remember from that drama was that everyone looked like porcelain and the storyline was boring and then I dropped it halfway.
It's insane to see Secretary Kim, Goblin and IONTBO are above Itaewon class, CLOY and My Secret Romance but it's…
There are lots of people who would disagree with you on IOTNBO and I'm one of them. I honestly think IOTNBO and Love O2O are way too overrated. Dropped both because they became so boring/annoying. And Secretary Kim wasn't the best office drama I've seen. Yes, it's a classic, but I still think it's overrated. This is just my opinion :)
I think this is one of those rare unique dramas where poverty is captured and shown to its depth. It is not one…
Just keep in mind that childhood difficulties like this ALWAYS manifest their problems when the character gets older. Yes, the drama is realistic, so it shows that.
I keep giving Yiding chances because the two of them are so freaking ADORABLE together 😂 I hope they move out…
I'm not sure whether the baby is Qiqi's... someone else here speculated it but I didn't see anything like that when I watched it. But I do know that I'm really hoping it isn't his kid. Qiqi is a child himself!
Yes, yes, I do think the writer has male angst. It feels like a very twisted feminist story sometimes. Every man here is a complete pushover of either his wife or his mother... and the amount of jump-kisses we've had to see 🙄 Other than Yicheng's friend, every single male is a lozapalooza(and yes, I like the word. It's the only way to describe them). Lingzi's mom was nice but her sidekick mom is NASTY. Poor Qiqi is completely traumatized... I wanted to slap Lingzi's insolent smiling face at the wedding.
Also WHAT was that conversation Erqiang had with his MIL??!! That he should beat or scold her or something... I sat there completely shocked and confused. I didn't even want to understand what was going on.
I haven't let go of Sanli-Yiding because they do have a very adorable romance. I think I'm more tolerant of MILs because I'm Asian so I've seen a lot of real-life ones, too. What saves this plot-arc from total destruction is that MIL is terrible to Yiding, too. MILs who side with their sons are just NASTY. And Yiding doesn't take his mom's side much, either. He also knows that his mom is mistreating Sanli and he's trying to change their situation. He stayed with his wife the whole time she was in the hospital, not with his mom. Even when she was going through tests, he was (very adorably) reading pregnancy info in the waiting room, not trying to shuttle between his mom and wife. There are so many jackasses in this world who take their mom's side and keep nagging at their wives to change or adapt or say stupid stuff like "You're strong enough to take care of yourself, my mom isn't."
Simei-Chenggang... I finished Ep 21 and I still don't feel that he even likes her. Him coming to her house first is so suspicious to me, and he also seemed to be avoiding Yicheng's questions. And Jiamin yelled at his wife for no reason at all -_- The writers didn't spare his relationship either.
Despite the frustrations of the show, the spineless men, and the evil/trashy women, there are some "wow" romantic…
IKR!!! I was annoyed at Yiding because of the whole MIL thing and I was frustrated with the entire drama in general, but that olive oil scene completely melted me, they are SO FREAKING CUTE! 🥰🥰 It was so so sweeeeeet!! I love it when Sanli and Yiding are smiling!
I loved all those pre-dating and during-breakup scenes where Yiding made sure Sanli got home safely, too. They're pretty much the whole reason I keep pushing through with this drama.
